Father and Son

Understand your Worth. Value your Life.

One day his son goes to his father and Asks:

Father what is the value of my life?

The father gives him a stone and says, Son. If you want to know the value of your life, Take this stone and go to the market.

If anyone asks the price don’t say a word and raise up two fingers. 

So the boy does as his father says and goes to the market. He wanders around and suddenly an old woman approaches him and says how much is this stone?

How much is this stone?

The boy doesn’t say a word, just raises his two fingers. 

And the woman says: “$2″? OK I’ll take it”

The son is surprised and runs back to his Father and says “father, there was an old woman at the market she wanted to give me $2 dollars for the stone. 

The father says;  “son the next place I want you to go, is to the museum and if anyone asks the price don’t say a word and raise up two fingers. 

So the son takes the stone, goes to the museum. After about twenty minutes there was a middle-aged man in a suit who approaches the boy. He says “Boy, how much is this stone?” 

The boy doesn’t say a word and raises of two fingers. 

And the man says “$200, I’ll take it”. The boy is surprised and runs home to his father.

“Father! father a man in the museum wanted to buy the stone for $200”.

Okay son the last place I wanted to take the stone is a precious stone store. Walk inside with the stone and if anyone asks the price don’t say a word just raise up two fingers. 

So the son runs off into the precious stone store. He walks inside the store and there is an old man at the counter, he jumps up and screams “Oh my god you have the stone I’ve been looking for my whole life”.

what do you want for it, how much is it? The boy doesn’t say a word and raises up two fingers.

The old man says $200,000, OK, I’ll take it.

The boy can’t believe it. He jumps up and runs to his father.

“Father, father” the old man at the precious stone store wanted to give me $200,000 for the stone: 

You see son, You can decide if you want to be a $2.00 stone or $200,000 stone.

“The value of your life is all about where you place yourself”.
